Well hung!

So we have hung parliament here in the UK. Meaning it's essentially going to be the Conservatives vs Labour and Lib Dems, with the latter having the majority. Going to be pretty interesting with a lot of the usual scandal.

Including people being turned away from polling booths, and students being singled out into another queue to vote. Just so they could be singled out a little more.

Democracy eh?
 
Not necessarily !! If the parties were sensible they'd come to an agreement to let the largest party govern in a limited way for a short while in the national interest.

It's also not impossible that the Tories & LibDems could come to an alliance of sorts on a case by case basis. Nick Clegg has stated again just now that the largest party has the biggest right to govern. That is only right ! Labour have lost, even though the Tories haven't won, but they have lost more than they have in about 80 years! We know Brown and his cronies would like to cling on by their fingernails but that won't do them any favours if they try that. Nor would it have done any favours to the Liberals if he'd automatically backed them, being the biggest losers and effectively being thrown out by the electorate.

As for the students and the polling station mess that was utterly ridiculous. As someone said last night we oversee other countries to make sure they have fair elections and here we are with third world style voting!! Very badly organised. The students apparently turned up en masse without voting cards so it took longer to process them.

There is a law that nobody can vote after 10pm regardless, even though some returning officers did allow an extra half hour, which was actually against the rules but understandable. The worst situation was the polling station that actually ran out of voting slips thus depriving many people of voting!! How the hell is that possible?? In another case the voting list wasn't updated so although on the electoral register people were turned away and not allowed to vote!!

An interesting election, but in many ways a complete mess !

For the record, although I voted for what I personally consider the lesser of all evils for the country I don't like or trust any one of them very much. All singing the same song with slightly different tunes!

hm... you know what's funny?

I mean besides I don't understand your voting system and why you guys can't have a crappy conservative-liberal coalition just like us :p

No, the funny thing is that yesterday evening the TV show Hung had it's premiere on German TV... and now that ;P
 
Don't worry, be happy. At the moment we have in the Netherlands in "de tweede kamer"(house of parliament): PvdA; CDA; VVD; SP; Groen Links; D66; SGP; GPV; Partij voor de dieren (party for the animals); Christen Unie. I do hope I didn't forget one. And for the next election they need a wallpaper for the voters, because there are many new one's. Still the sun rises for free in the morning. Although that seems to be senseless, because he disappears in the evening.
 
Oh, when I remember last years vote for the Bundestag, the voting slip was about a meter :p
How nice was the slip for the village council vote... 3 parties ^^
 
We don't generally get too many standing in most seats. I think about 6 is about average, but there have been seats that had a somewhat longer list, depends on the number of independents and which seats the smaller parties stand in, like UKIP or The Monster Raving Loony Party - yes Screaming Lord Sutch's legacy lives on!
 
Would be interested to hear you guys comment on this little policy! A tad controversial I think

Don't believe a word of that! It's from a religious website so I imagine it's something completely blown out of all proportion. It would have been too controversial for the media to ignore otherwise ;)
 
Well I for one like the idea of a hung Government, just tell me when the hanging starts I'll be there.
 
Well, this is exactly what Plaid Cymru wanted, isn't it? Good lord, there's something I didn't think I'd be saying any time soon...

I have to admit, I'm kind of amused by what an absolute shambles it's turning into.
 
I suppose it's partially because of the smug certainty Cameron was exuding. I know they all have to put up a brave front and all that, but I can very well imagine how deflating it is to be in this situation, now.
 
I've been totally outside the sphere of influence of all of the political goings on, so not a clue what's happening for now (was away at a music fest). However, on the 16 yr old porn thing. Personally I think if you're ready to have sex at an age, you'd be ready to be in porn. It's a similar step.

And frankly, in this country you can go into the army to be possibly blown to tiny pieces at 16, but not buy/be in porn until you're 18. Also not able to vote for who sends you to war til you're 18 either. Little lack of consistancy there really.
 
I can of course only make a judgement for the situation in The Netherlands. But things in UK will not differ much I suppose. When I was young we had to read the book "Animal Farm" (silly but forgot the name of the writer). The story was a funny way of making the communism system ridiculous. The way it interfered in your life. Controlled everything. Nowadays it may be useful to rewrite it in a way that it reflects our system. They try to control everything. As if we are unable to stand upright without the help of the government. Since a number of years I take as much as possible distance from my Government. It is astonishing how little you miss them.

Hm, I am getting old. Things are going slower, George Orwell was the writer, I think
